How can I maintain my dolomite marble kitchen worktop?
Like conventional marble, dolomite marble is a popular material for kitchen worktops and other interior finishes, such as splashboards, tables and tablets. The two main reasons for this are its durability and aesthetic qualities. The best long-term results are achieved by maintaining the dolomite marble properly, which is not difficult or labour intensive. Dolomite marble is also a living material that will look even more beautiful as it is regularly maintained over time.
Step 1
If the dolomite marble did not receive an initial treatment by the installer or professional natural stone provider, you can treat the countertop yourself with Lithofin MN Stain-Stop to make the worktop extra resistant to stains
Step 2
Use Lithofin MN Easy-Clean for daily maintenance. This 2-in-1 product cleans and nourishes, removes greasy surface dirt and provides a beautiful patina.
Regular cleaning of your natural stone kitchen worktop with this product will make it more resilient and easier to maintain.
Step 3
Clean the kitchen worktop regularly with Lithofin MN Power-Clean and then use Lithofin MN Easy-Clean again for daily maintenance.
Tips
- Don’t use too much water. A gentle rub with a damp cloth is sufficient.
- Never scrub with abrasive materials to clean dirt that is hard to remove. Using some undiluted Lithofin MN Power-Clean on a kitchen sponge is a far more durable solution.
- Dolomite marble is more resistant to scratches and acids than conventional marble. A test with a lemon does not result in any stains after five minutes. You still need to be careful with stronger acids, as they may still cause light stains.
- Acid stains can be removed with Propad hand pads.
- Dolomite marble surfaces can be made acid resistant before they are installed. Contact us or your natural stone provider for more information.
- Always follow the instructions on the packaging of the maintenance products.
